WhatsApp Rolls Out AI Image Editing in Android Beta; Interoperability Features Still in Development
-
WhatsApp beta for Android includes new AI-powered image editing tools called Backdrop, Restyle, and Expand that were first announced by Meta in September.
-
Backdrop lets users change image backgrounds by entering text prompts, Restyle adds visual effects using text prompts, and Expand resizes images.
-
WhatsApp is working on supporting interoperability with third-party chat apps to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act.
-
We recently saw the onboarding process for linking third-party apps, but development has been slow since the initial announcement in September.
-
The new video doesn't reveal much about the progress of third-party app integration, suggesting there is still work to be done before full implementation.
